Well, i went back to raspi os, and installed midori, and it successfully ran and loaded a page, though it quickly became apparent that raspbery pi os on an old model 2 B+ was not going to work(cpu + mem overload = slow) I have a vague memory of connecting a screen+keyboard+mouse to my raspi some years ago, though I can't really remember what the UX was like. In any case, it is unusable now with the latest version of raspi os. Here's a pic if you don't believe me(not that it is very much proof, but notice the scan is messed up - there is no way to fix it apparently): https://i.postimg.cc/3NjBDR6f/KIMG0503.jpg

I'm going to have to figure out another solution for my idea of turning TVs into cheap workstations. Sadly it seems like nobody is interested in making retro-computing accessible, and my favorite brand of linux seems to be slowly moving on to new hardware support(things seem degraded after updating). It's just that it makes it hard to participate(and contribute) when simple setup is so difficult, and hardware support becomes degraded. Maybe there is some project out there i just haven't seen yet that will fix all my problems, but it just seems less likely the longer i hang around. Actually there are a few options that come to mind, but testing OSs takes time, and so i think i'll just leave it at that for now.

Take care all.
